Bobcat!
This weekend something caught Mike's eye out our Great Room windows, and when we looked we discovered a bobcat hunting in our yard! We're hoping that he was hunting gophers.
He spent quite a while walking around the yard on the snow, in no particular hurry. We, of course, were excitedly snapping photos and video through the window the whole time. We eventually walked outside to see if we could get a view that wasn't obstructed by the window, leaving Max and Anders (who happened to be napping) in the house, of course. But when the cat detected us he bounded off into the woods.
But not five minutes later, he was back in the yard again. He sat on a rock surveying the area - including us, now back inside - for at least 10 minutes or so before continuing on his way.
This was our first bobcat sighting at our place, but it makes one wonder what we miss when we aren't looking out the window!
